WhatsApp has rolled out a ‘Safety Overview’ feature to protect users from being added to unknown groups, as part of a broader anti-scam push. Over 6.8 million scam-linked accounts were banned, with operations disrupted across Southeast Asia
The Safety Check feature will also let you know if any of your extensions are potentially harmful, you're not using the latest version of Chrome, or site permissions need your attention
The year-long initiative will include a nation-wide social media awareness campaign, and capacity building for 100,000 school children on online safety, digital literacy, and psychosocial support.
